Enabling a modern approach to justice services

Courtroom technology from Fujitsu

Fujitsu was awarded a 10 year PFI contract with the Northern Ireland Court Service (NICtS) for the ongoing development and management of its IT infrastructure, corporate applications and courtroom technology. As part of the agreement Fujitsu was also tasked to design and implement an Integrated Court Operation System (ICOS) that would standardise and automate its business processes, improve resource management and be accessible by all court users.

Jim Coffey says, “We decided to create an ambitious single application to support all court business processes. In addition it needed to be flexible and provide the platform to develop online services, support wider justice integration and to transform the courtroom environment.”
